and the tragedy of this, this is the real tragedy, dr. dyson, these benefits don't cost us, they benefit us, the whole of the country. for every dollar that goes to long-term unemployment benefits, because these people put it right back in the economy, it creates $1.10 in economic activity. so this is one of the best ways to continue to improve the economy. cutting these benefits will do severe damage to rural counties in mitch mcconnell's home state, to counties in john boehner's home district in ohio, which is a terribly high and unfortunately high child poverty rate. this is one of those issues where everybody should come together. this shouldn't have a political hue to it. also, i think we do talk a lot about the economics, we talk about the money. there's a moral component to this. a civil society in a functional, western, well-developed economy should be able to take care of the people who, through no fault of their own, as you suggest, have fallen out of the economic system, for a period of their fe

dr. dyson, in black communities in this country, in poor neighborhoods in this country, we are seeing the penetration of guns and ruining lives. and now we're at elementary schools. >> you're right. >> what do we have to do? this is a culture now of violence. >> you see, drinking and smoking didn't have attached to them the immediacy of a constitutional amendment that would support their ostensible advocates. so when you've got this gun lobby, it's so deep and so profound. and i thank congressman ellison for reminding us that there are those who are heroic in congress who will stand up. but the reality is that gun lobby is so deep, their pockets are so procfound, and they've gt the ability to bully people that we've got to stand up to them and say this is enough. it happens at every level, in white communities, in brown communities, in asian communities, latino communities, we have to deal with it in america, because it's an american problem. >> seven nfl players -- i just want to point o

dr. haines, welcome to the show. >> thank you, professor dyson. >> isn't it ironic, dr. haines, through this entire debate the focus has been on the wealthiest americans paying more taxes, not people who will lose unemployment benefits come january 1st? you're the pastor of a huge church in dallas that talks about poverty and social injustice. what's your reaction to this? >> well, not only is it ironic. i think it's almost sinful, especially during this season where we have just celebrated the birth of one who was born homeless. i think that unfortunately if the wise men had been replaced by the speaker of the house as well as the senate minority leader, instead of he bearing gifts they would have taken away from him unemployment benefits. so i find it painfully sinful that this is both immoral, because when we talk about any faith expression that faith expression is always concerned about those who are most vulnerable. and please understand, we're not talking about persons who are going over the cliff. they are already -- they've already gone over the cliff. and,000 th
